Busy Holiday...

I think this must have been the busiest holiday for me... between going back to school and going to the hospital... I can't say it has been very restful holiday for me...

Before anyone freaks, it is not me who needs treatment as the hospital or whatever... My grandma has been shuttling in and out of the hospital.

Last week, she was there for a cateract operation. Though it was pretty fast, was over in last than an hour, I had to be with her the whole morning to see her through her recovery in the day surgery ward.

Today, it was worse. She fell while bathing in the toilet this morning and her hip socket was fractured, causing her femur to be dislocated. She was in a pretty bad shape and had to be put on traction to stabilise the bone. Doctor recommended the removal of the fractured hip socket and a titanium implant will be put in place. The femur will be attached to the implant using screws.

Initially, the orthopedic surgeon wanted to operate on her tonite but she complained of giddiness. So she was sent to do an MRI instead. The doctor was worried she might wind up with stroke...

After the MRI, everything looks okie so she's set to be operated on tomorrow evening... However, the whole family is pretty worried cos Grandma is over 80 years old. Mom is worried about post-operation complications cos her brain vessels are a lil narrow (due to old age), or the antibiotics they will ply her with might be too strong for her.

I'll be praying and fasting for her tomorrow.

Dear friends, if you see my post, can help me to pray for her that she will get through this and be in good health? Thanks so much....
